While promoting "Justice League" on NBC's "Today" show Wednesday, Gal Gadot confirmed that Brett Ratner will not be involved in the sequel to "Wonder Woman." This is on the heels of a story that ran over the weekend in Page Six, which said that Gadot would not return to the iconic DC Comics role if the director-producer was involved.

"The truth is, there's so many people involved in making this movie, it's not just me, and they all echoed the same sentiments," Gadot said. "Everyone knew what was the right thing to do. But there was nothing for me to actually come and say because [the decision] was already done before this article [on Saturday declaring a stand-off] came out."

Brett Ratner would never have been involved with "Wonder Woman 2" Warner Bros.

However, it wasn't the Gadot ultimatum that led to Ratner not being involved in "Wonder Woman 2," which will open in theaters in November 2019.

As Business Insider reported on Monday, the deal RatPac-Dune has with Warner Bros. will expire before "Wonder Woman 2" goes into production.

The 2013 deal between the two companies was for 75 pictures over "three or four" years covering Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema releases. The final title in the deal will be the Dwayne Johnson movie, "Rampage," which opens for New Line April 20, 2018.

Ratner announced in early November that he would "step away" from his work at the studio. That included the scrapping of a Hugh Hefner biopic he was to direct with Jared Leto playing the recently-deceased Playboy founder.
